@aaronstuder said in Korora Custom Partitioning - KVM:
I am installing Korora on a small 120GB SSD drive.
It's a SFF PC, so adding another drive for data isn't an isn't an option... unless I use an external drive...
This system will be a KVM Host, so whats the best way to setup the partitioning?
50GBfor root seems like a lot... and doesn't leave much space for VM's etc.
Also, Where should I store the VM's? I know some people create /data, and store them there?

For a drive that small, shrink the root partition to 20 GiB or less, give the swap partition 4 GiB and the rest to home partition. Or just have root and swap partition only.
